| What We Provide |
|
- Registration for your puppy—You will be provided with information to register your puppy with the American Cockapoo Club (ACC).
- Signed guarantee from Sugar and Spice Cockapoos—part of Contract
- Small bag of high quality puppy food from Costco (Kirkland Puppy Food - similar to Nutro Natural)
- Familiar blanket or stuffed animal
- Chew sticks—keep chew sticks on hand so the puppy won’t be tempted to chew on your personal belongings. Please buy only rawhide chew sticks, and avoid anything that is pressed and has added dyes or flavorings.
- A bell for house training (see #2 on house training tips)
- Puppy pads for potential potty trips on your way home. Please don’t let your puppy down on the ground in an area that is frequented by other dogs, as he or she could contract parvovirus or some other deadly disease. If you are traveling a long distance to bring your puppy home, having a cardboard box or plastic tote lined with puppy papers is a safe place for your puppy to go to the bathroom - in your vehicle.

| What You Will Need |
|
- Crate/kennel—you may want to get the medium or medium-large size instead of the smallest size so your puppy will have room to grow. However, the back half will need to be blocked off at first, as too much space will allow the puppy to go to the bathroom in the back of the kennel and cause problems with crate training. We can provide a Pet Mate medium sized plastic crate (approximately
 23"x15.2"x12") for $30 if requested in advance. This medium sized-crate is for dogs and puppies up to 15 pounds. Your puppy should weigh about three to six pounds when you get him or her.
- More puppy food—we have found that the Kirkland brand Puppy Food from Costco has very similar ingredients to the Nutro Natural Puppy Food, and is significantly less expensive. Nutro Natural Puppy Food is available at PetSmart and PetCo, if you do not have a Costco near you.
- Food and water dishes - non skid, heavy-weight preferable
- Collar and leash. At first you will need an 8-10" size collar. You may use a kitten collar since those are quite small.
- Puppy pads or newspaper for indoor training, if desired - disposable underpads are available at any drugstore, and puppy-training pads are available at Walmart and pet stores.
- A vet appointment within 5 days of receiving your puppy. Bring the medical record that we provide to make sure your vet is aware of all shots given.
